29th January 2010
Today, Daniel & Robert were competing in two separate events. The CH2 racers competed in Slalom which had two separate courses which had to be both completed for a result and the CH1 racers competed in a Combi. The Combi is a test of the racers free(all mountain) skiing ability and slalom skis are recommended. They usually consist of rollers,jumps,banked turns,Big turns and smaller turns usually set with stubby gates.
Daniel unfortunately abandoned the course in the CH2 Slalom run 1 but Robert, competing in the CH1 Combi kept up his outstanding form from the silver medal the day before in the Giant Slalom and raced to another top 10 position in his age category finishing the combi in 6th place just missing another medal by a whisker!
This day concludes a most fantastic set of outstanding results this week for Daniel & Robert in Andorra at their first International Ski race representing Great Britain on the Children's Ski race team. Tonight is the closing ceremony.
The GB team came 5th Position overall out of 26 countries which took part in the Trofeu Borrufa 2010.
Hopefully....! photos will be added later from Daniel's lovely new camera!!!
An Evening of Celebration at the Gala Presentation took place at Mount Grace School this evening. Daniel & Robert had both been nominated for an award but we had no idea what it was for. As Both Daniel & Robert were away In Andorra competing for Great Britain, Mum and Dad went along to the evening. Wow!!!What a fabulous evening it was too. Daniel & Robert were both awarded Exceptional Achievement awards for their ski sporting achievements. After being talked about on stage for more than 10 minutes. This certainly was a very special proud moment for the Boys parents and it is a pity that they couldn't be present too to receive their fantastic awards. Mum collected the trophies on their behalf and thankfully negotiated the stage steps brilliantly to rapturous applause. WELL DONE DANIEL & ROBERT!!!!
